What Engineers Need to Know about SERDES, SPICE, and IBIS-AMI
Requires Flash Player.
For those wanting to validate bit error rates down to 10^-12 and 10^-15 on busses like SATA and PCI-Express, traditional simulation techniques using SPICE models won’t work. This 15-minute webinar discusses the new simulation and modeling techniques for SERDES busses, including FastEye™ Channel Analysis, S-parameter simulation, frequency-dependent loss modeling including surface roughness, and VHDL-AMS and IBIS-AMI models.
